I decided to become a physician so I could provide the much-needed resource of healthcare to my community. I decided to specialize in family medicine so I could care for a person in all stages of life, from newborn to elderly. Excellent medical care is achieved from a team-based approach, and I believe in working alongside all members of the medical community to provide the best care possible to my patients. I place a large emphasis on prevention of illness and practice a multi-disciplinary approach to treating illness including lifestyle management. Medicine is an art and there are multiple paths to take to achieve the goal of health and longevity. I was born and raised in the Inland Empire of California and after spending almost a decade away I am enjoying being back home and spending time with my family and taking in all the beauty of California.
